TOPLESS protesters smeared in fake blood have taken to the streets of Pamplona to protest the barbaric annual bull runs.
Members of animal rights groups AnimaNaturalis and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals stripped off to their black pants and covered themselves in anti-cruelty slogans today in the northern Spanish city.
Wearing fake horns, they also threw red powder into the air to symbolise what they regard as unnecessary bloodshed during the annual festival which attracts hundreds of thousands of people from around the world.
Preparations are currently being made in Pamplona for the San Fermin fiesta in which “contestants” run through the streets whilst taunting the bulls.
The protest rally called for “a San Fermin without blood” and the abolition of bullfighting.
Director of AnimaNaturalis in Spain, Aida Gascon, read a statement in which she criticised the old tradition.
